Descriptive Summary Record Group Number 02.015 Records of the Office of Government Affairs Johns Hopkins University. Office of Government Affairs The Ferdinand Hamburger Archives, The Milton S. Eisenhower Library, The Johns Hopkins University 3.167 cubic feet (3 records center boxes and 0.5 document case) English The records of the Office of Government Affairs span the years 1970 to 1987 and primarily consist of the records of Ellery B. Woodworth, Special Assistant to the President. They concern almost exclusively the University's relations with the Maryland State Legislature, however, a handful of files pertain to Baltimore City Council bills. There are no records from the 1975 legislative session and records from 1970 and 1971 are fairly limited. The record group consists of correspondence with legislators, state officials, and the Maryland Independent College and University Association (MICUA), in addition to internal University correspondence, reports to President Muller on the status of legislation under consideration in committee or the General Assembly, testimony in favor of or in opposition to bills affecting the University or the Johns Hopkins Hospital, and records of meetings with legislators and official presentations on behalf of the University. The office monitored and lobbied a wide variety of legislative items, of which the more important include state aid for the University and the Peabody Institute and health care cost containment. Since virtually everything in this record group pertains to pending legislation, the records are arranged chronologically by year, then alphabetically within each year.

History

Very little is known about the history of this office. Ellery Woodworth served as a Special Assistant to President Steven Muller, with responsibility for legislative matters affecting the University. Since Muller was also president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital during the 1980s, Woodworth apparently dealt with matters affecting the Hospital as well as the University. Although the Office of Government Relations was officially created at some point, most of the correspondence appears on stationery bearing the title Special Assistant.
